OVERDUE

Tim Burton’s Edward Scis­sorhands may not strike the read­er as a cook­ie-cut­ter Christ­mas clas­sic. Yet, its nar­ra­tive, which loose­ly fol­lows the idea of small-town sub­ur­bia – set amidst, in part, the back­drop of the fes­tive hol­i­day peri­od – sit­u­ates its spot, as far as I’m con­cerned, on the year­ly Decem­ber watchlist.
